True Love Waits

Chapter 1375 Hello Auntie

When they referred to Noreen, they were referring to the woman cozying up to Matthew, treating him like her boyfriend. She was a famous star, like Chantel. She had a fan base, and to them she was impossibly beautiful and elegant, a goddess, if you will. And her fans were primarily male.

Today, she wore a wine-red deep V-neck evening dress and a collar manufactured by Mikimoto jewelers. It was an amalgam of South Sea pearls, pink conch pearls, Tahitian pearls, white pearls, and so on. All of them cultured and set in various metals like gold and platinum, along with diamonds. This particularly pricey piece was on loan, meant to show off the line. Her wavy blonde hair fell over her left shoulder, revealing the long drop earring dangling from her right ear-a graceful rainbow pearl suspended by an 18k golden chain.

As Erica approached, Noreen clung harder to Matthew's arm, trying to get herself even closer to the man.

And just like everyone else, Matthew's eyes had never left Erica's lithe form. She was a thing of beauty, radiant and nearly unattainable. Especially today.

The voluminous skirt of the red bubble dress parted to reveal her shapely legs. She looked like a princess.

Matthew had a slight smile on his face, an enigmatic thing that was sometimes not there when you looked for it. Noreen thought it was for her. She was wrong.

Erica continued making her way through the guests. Before she could say anything, more people began commenting. "Mr. Huo's wife is here. What does Noreen think she's doing? Doesn't she know she should stay away from Mr. Huo?"

"Maybe she doesn't know Erica is Mrs. Huo? After all, Erica hasn't been in Y City for a while now."

"Maybe! I don't know!"

It was almost as if Erica couldn't see the woman with Matthew.

She quickened her pace when she was about to reach him. Finally, she gave him a hug in front of everyone and said in a sweet voice, "Hi honey!"

As soon as Erica put her arms around the man, Noreen went red with embarrassment. Her face almost matched the red of her dress.

Matthew and Erica were husband and wife. She knew that, and had to step back. She was merely his escort. Erica was his wife.
